What each Shopify abandoned cart app is best for

The seven apps in the order they're reviewed below, with the job each one does well:

How to pick a Shopify abandoned cart app

Dedicated app or all-in-one platform

Cart recovery comes in two forms: dedicated apps focused only on cart abandonment, or marketing platforms that include cart recovery alongside other features.

Dedicated cart recovery apps work well if you already run email marketing, SMS and ecommerce popup tools. They focus on cart abandonment and usually connect to the tools you already use.

All-in-one platforms make sense if you're building your marketing tools from scratch. You get cart recovery plus email marketing, popups, SMS and other channels in one place. That means fewer integrations to manage and often a lower total cost.

Order volume gives a rough starting point:

• New stores (0-100 orders/month): start with free or low-cost dedicated apps

• Growing stores (100-500 orders/month): consider all-in-one platforms for better integration

• Established stores (500+ orders/month): look at platforms with detailed analytics and several channels

Cart recovery channels

Different customers respond to different channels. Email reaches shoppers who already shared an address, while in-session channels reach anonymous visitors before they close the tab.

The main cart recovery channels:

• Cart recovery popups: catch abandonment in session, before the visitor leaves, at a 2.81% average conversion rate in Wisepops popup data

• Email sequences: two or three timed emails over 24 to 72 hours, for shoppers who left an address

• SMS messages: reminders on the shopper's phone, once you've collected a number and consent

• Web push notifications: browser alerts that work without an email address, after a one-click opt-in

• WhatsApp and Messenger: chat reminders for markets where those apps are the main way to talk to brands

Choose apps that support the channels your customers use. Email plus an in-session popup covers both identified shoppers and anonymous visitors.

Cost considerations

Cart recovery apps range from free to several hundred dollars a month. Look at the total cost, including how the price grows with contacts or messages:

• Free plans: usually cap emails or contacts, like Cartly's 100 recovery emails or Omnisend's 500 emails a month

• Low-cost apps ($10-30/month): basic automation for email or a single channel

• Mid-tier apps ($30-100/month): multi-channel recovery, better targeting and A/B testing

• Premium platforms ($100+/month): advanced analytics, AI triggers and dedicated support

Shopify abandoned cart apps by use case

1. Wisepops

Wisepops is our traffic activation platform, with AI-powered cart recovery across popups, the onsite feed and web push. Recovery emails start after the shopper has gone; our campaigns reach abandoning visitors while they're still on your site.

Multi-channel cart recovery:

Recover abandoned carts through three channels, all triggered by Shopify cart data:

• AI cart recovery and exit popups: show targeted offers or reminders to visitors with items in their cart who are about to leave

• Onsite feed: a bell-icon channel with social media-style notifications, for reminders such as a gift or free shipping for cart holders who haven't checked out

• Web push notifications: browser notifications that bring shoppers back to their abandoned cart after they've left your site

AI-powered cart abandonment prediction:

Our AI cart recovery scores each session on 10+ behavioral signals and shows the recovery campaign when a visitor with items in the cart is likely to leave. AI cart recovery is available for Shopify stores and works on mobile as well as desktop.

4murs, a wallpaper and home décor brand, runs an AI cart recovery popup with the shopper's live cart contents and a time-limited offer. Tested against a holdout group, the popup reached a 24.5% click rate against 0% in the control group.

The native Shopify integration also lets you target recovery campaigns by:

• Specific products in the cart

• Cart value thresholds

• Product price, stock and product tags

• Customer tags and order count

Example: show a 10% discount popup to visitors abandoning carts over $100, free shipping to carts between $50 and $99, and product recommendations to returning customers.

Key features for cart recovery:

• Add-to-cart triggers: start a campaign the moment a product is added to the cart, to encourage checkout or suggest complementary items

• AI product recommendations: upsells and cross-sells in recovery popups, based on cart contents and browsing (frequently bought together, similar items, bestsellers)

• Unique Shopify discount codes: inserted automatically from your Shopify account into recovery campaigns

• Klaviyo segment targeting: different recovery offers for cart abandoners, VIP customers or one-time buyers

• Dynamic cart content: the actual products from the cart, shown in the popup or notification

Omnisend is an email and SMS marketing platform built for ecommerce, so it's not strictly an abandoned checkout app for Shopify. But I recommend it for cart recovery because it combines prebuilt recovery automations, multichannel messaging, and a G2 rating of 4.7/5.

The cart and checkout abandonment automations are ready to switch on, and one automation can send email, SMS and web push in sequence. Abandoned cart emails are included on every plan, the free one too.

Shopify abandoned cart apps: summary

Recovering abandoned carts takes steady work, and a Shopify abandoned cart app automates most of it. Recovered sales then arrive without manual follow-up for every cart.

Email and SMS apps like Omnisend and Cartly reach shoppers who left contact details. Bitespeed adds WhatsApp, and PushOwl reaches shoppers through the browser.

Messages sent after the visit miss anonymous shoppers, many of them on mobile. An in-session channel like Wisepops cart recovery reaches them before they leave.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best abandoned cart app for Shopify?

The best app depends on the channel your shoppers respond to and on your store size. Omnisend fits email and SMS recovery, Bitespeed fits WhatsApp-heavy markets and Brevo PushOwl fits browser push. Wisepops fits stores that want to recover carts in session, before the visitor leaves.

Does Shopify have abandoned cart recovery?

Shopify includes an abandoned checkout automation at no extra cost, set up in the Shopify Messaging app under Automations. The automation emails shoppers who reached checkout and entered contact details. Reaching shoppers who leave from the cart page takes an app with popups, push or another in-session channel.

How do I find abandoned carts on Shopify?

In your Shopify admin, go to Orders, then Abandoned checkouts, to see checkouts that were started but not completed. The list includes only shoppers who reached checkout, so carts abandoned earlier are tracked by cart recovery apps.

How can I reduce cart abandonment on Shopify?

Start with the checkout: show shipping costs early, cut unnecessary steps and offer the payment methods your shoppers expect. Then add recovery, with an in-session popup for visitors about to leave and an email or SMS sequence for those who leave anyway.

Are there free Shopify abandoned cart apps?

Several apps have free plans with limits. Cartly's free plan includes 100 recovery emails, Omnisend's covers 250 contacts and 500 emails a month, and Brevo PushOwl's includes 500 notifications a month. Shopify's own abandoned checkout automation is also free.
